Ive read that means they need more light.

They dont have nutriënt to feed on. Raise po4 and no3.

I guess I could have worded that better, may I please see an image of the Rasta.

When you say the skirts dropped, that makes me think something is eating the zoanthids..

Lol yes sorry I thought you wanted to see the actual light itself. I am at work currently cleaning up after this hurricane that just hit but when I get home I will take a picture.

Take your time please.

I have Rasta in two different tanks, compared to the other zoanthids that I have Rasta are pretty darn hardy. What percent are you running those lights at?

I agree with rastas being hardy. I've grown them in low nutrient and high nutrient tanks, low light and high light as well.

I had the timer set for channel for 4 to acclimate the corals that I have. I actually moved to Rasta to the bottom of the tank slightly under one of the rocks and it's skirt came up a little which makes me happy. [emoji3] the only animals I have in there is the two clowns

I used to have the same lighting on my first tank when I first started and I could never get my Rastas to grow or look really good. The light just isn't strong enough. I switched over to the Chinese Black Boxes and the growth of my Rastas has exploded. My picture is a comparison of my Rastas from May 2016 to April 2017 (there are only that many more Rastas now today).
